Kat,
Just a couple of things you can follow up on...
The 1880 census listing for your Mary Katherine Baxter indicates both her mother and father were born in Kentucky.
I see an Isham Gilbert in Platte Co., MO in the 1860 census.He was been born in about 1820 in Kentucky. Based on this census listing (see below). it appears a first wife may have died (the Polly you mentioned?) and he had remarried a younger woman Elizabeth.I assume his older daughter Sarah is by his first wife and the younger Mary by his second wife.
1860 Platte Co., MO
Isham Gilbert 41 KY
Elizabeth27 KY
Sarah16 KY
Mary5 MO
And going back a little further, I see an Isham Gilbert in Lincoln Co., KY in the 1820.He has four young sons under the age of 10.One of them could be your Isham.
Good luck.
Jane
